4.6 Request Processing Hints — ‘raddb/hints’

The ‘raddb/hints’ file is used to modify the contents of the incoming request depending on the username. For a detailed description of this, See section Hints.

The file contains data in Matching Rule format (see section Matching Rule).

Notice, that versions of GNU Radius up to 1.0 allowed to use only a subset of attributes in the check list of a ‘hints’ entry, namely:

• Suffix
• Prefix
• Group
• User-ID

This requirement has been removed in version 1.0.

4.6.1 Example of ‘hints’ file

## If the username starts with `U', append the UUCP hint 
DEFAULT         Prefix = "U", Strip-User-Name = No
                Hint = "UUCP"
## If the username ends with `.slip', append the SLIP service data
## and remove the suffix from the user name.
DEFAULT         Suffix = ".slip",
                   Strip-User-Name = Yes
                Hint = "SLIP",
                   Service-Type = Framed-User,
                   Framed-Protocol = SLIP
